Thanks Valin!

((((ping))))

Allegra, here is more ammo for you to blast away at the MSM lovers on this forum!

Quick summary!
1. Refugees – lack thereof
2. Religious pilgrimages
3. Currency
4. Plain old everyday freedoms

My own additions
1. Money supply turnover
2. Infant mortality
3. Agriculture/importation of food
4. Utilities
5. Education

Allegra, stay safe! And onward to Al-Sadr! And thank our most wonderful Troops for me/us! We are so much safer because of them. Please gush for all of us back home and make them blush. ;) Won't settle for anything less.

I wish I could speak personally to the guys who dropped the bombs on Zarq's safe house. What a feeling, huh?

People are still very happy here. And today was pretty quiet in Baghdad.

I hope and pray Iraq can turn the corner for good on this.
